Remembrance Day Wishes Quotes & Greetings Images

Remembrance Day is not about the war and or for what we have lost, but if we talk about the ideals and for that for which we stand for. The day is majorly about paying respect to one’s past but more than anything else, to present gratitude to all those who have served us. On this day, we all try to honor those who have fought for this country and for our freedom; it’s really very hard to search these words which can express what they have been made us available for us by their sacrifices.

So rather, turning our back for all those who have come before us, someone can heal a nation; others are just making us know that there are numerous impossible events that had just occurred. The day marks the end of the World War one which ended exactly at 11am 11/11/1918. And since that time, it has almost become a custom to keep a two-minute silence is held at 11am to remember all the people who have sacrificed their lives in the wars. Most of the countries do also celebrate Remembrance Sunday each year, which falls on every second Sunday in the month of November. Most of the people do celebrate the day as usual ceremonies at the war memorials, churches, cenotaphs throughout the Nation.

Why do we hold a two-minute silence?

The first silence was observed in Britain for two minutes and it was held on 11 November 1919 and this was the time when King George V has asked the masses to observe a silence at exactly 11am. This was the same year after the end of World War I. The king has made this request with the idea that the thoughts of the country men may be concentrated on the remembrance of these glorious dead. Remembrance has become a part of the British modern life, heritage, and culture. It has emerged as an important feature of the public calendar with each passing year when you are in public, at formal or informal Remembrance events that take place throughout the UK.

The day has evolved out of the Armistice Day, which is marked on the same day. The first Armistice Day was observed at the Buckingham Palace, with the commencement of King George V who hosted a Banquet in Honor of the President of the French Republic in the evening hours on 10 November 1919. And the first Armistice Day was held on the grounds of the Buckingham Palace on the following morning.

The day of Remembrance in many of the Commonwealth countries includes the sounding of “Last Post”, which is followed by the period of silence, then by the sounding of “Reveille” and the “The Rouse”. And the day is finished with the recitation of “Ode of Remembrance”. The Services of the day also include wreaths that are offered to honor the national anthems.

Respecting the legends and paying them a tribute is one of the purposes of this Day. What services we offer on this day is nothing if we compare it to the services that these soldiers and glorious men have done for their Countrymen. Our offerings are just a bit of their sacrifices.
